In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Chapter 394: Feng Shigu's Coffin

Old Hu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their faces.

No one can remain truly calm and composed in the face of danger, not even seasoned tomb raiders like them.

The group passed through a narrow, low tomb passage, at the end of which was a natural jade cave nestled deep within the Pangu Mountain range.

The room was very damp, and there was a faint, pungent smell of blood.

There is an extremely wide and long stone staircase, which looks like a ladder to heaven.

Without hesitation, because this was the only way out.

So the group climbed the steps, and they could see that the petrified ancient cedar had a texture like jade.

"This is too extravagant!"

The group was amazed and shocked.

The fat man muttered to himself, "Just one of these steps, if you just chipped off a piece, could be exchanged for an apartment in a third- or fourth-tier city."

"We've seen quite a bit over the years, visiting many grand tombs and mausoleums, but I never imagined that this would truly broaden our horizons!"

"How much can Feng Shigu, an old landlord, really be worth?"

"How could they build such a magnificent and grand palace?"

The fat man's eyes lit up, but he also felt a pang of heartache, because he realized he couldn't take anything with him!

Shirley Yang discovered that there were many ancient characters engraved on the stone steps. After looking at them for a while, she said, "These are ancient seal script. They are probably relics from the time of King Wuyang. They were not created by Guanshan Taibao and have no reference value."

Su Mo hummed in agreement. He didn't recall this part, and figured it wasn't that important.

However, even Su Mo felt that this jade staircase was extremely extravagant.

No wonder so many people want to raid tombs.

Because some ancient tombs can really make people rich overnight!

At the end of the ladder to heaven built of jade fir, there is not a palace with flying eaves and brackets, but four walls naturally formed by the jade vein.

Shaped like a city gate, it resembles a grand palace.

Its scale should be similar to that of the Yin and Yang dwellings in Dixian Village.

The underground palace here is a huge jade cave wrapped inside the Pangu vein.

The rock formations are very strange, completely unlike any other landforms found on the ground.

"Underground rock strata can be formed by sea erosion, or more likely by the erosion caused by feng shui and the earth's energy. There are yin and yang energies in this world, which have been transformed from chaos into formlessness!"

"The five elements manifest as celestial phenomena and form patterns on the earth; the wondrous and mysterious workings of nature are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!"

Old Hu looked around and sighed deeply.

Su Mo joked, "Stop lamenting. This place is surrounded by the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor. Everyone be careful, or be prepared that this place could be your own grave!"

Su Mo stood at the highest point of the sacrificial stele, and within his sight were dozens of cave tombs.

In the distance, will-o'-the-wisps flickered like stars.

Based on these estimates, there are probably countless tombs like this.

Su Mo said, "These tombs are scattered underground, and none of the corpses inside were placed in coffins. The deceased all held lamps in their arms, which should have been used to guide the spirits in the underworld!"

"Hoping that after the earth immortals attain enlightenment, they can retrieve their souls from the underworld, and then use their unhatched corpses hidden in the Coffin Mountain to become immortals!"

"When the blood mist enters the earth, Feng Shigu will lead the immortals out of the mountain!"

"fart!"

The fat man cursed, "An immortal? He's got a screw loose..."

Old Hu nodded, "Then what should we do now? With so many tombs and the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor, it won't be easy to find Feng Shigu's coffin!"

Suddenly, a tremor came from underground, as if the earth was shaking.

Even the corpses in the tomb were shaking, and the jade above their heads made a cracking sound.

The situation is far from optimistic!

If the tremor just now caused a crack to appear between the Jade Cave and the Yin House of the Earth Immortal Village, swarms of coffin worms would immediately swarm in.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "It's the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor underground that's tightening the coffin mountain, and the Pangu Vein is probably about to collapse and shatter!"

Old Hu stood beside Su Mo. "Brother Su, what do you suggest? I'll help you!"

Su Mo remained silent, took out the golden compass, and silently recited the incantation in his mind.

The compass turned slowly.

This is the "Illuminating the Candle and Asking the Mirror" technique from the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques," which utilizes the principle of Qi divination to determine the location of auspicious sites within the earth's veins.

A dragon vein is not always auspicious; a golden burial site that gathers wind and water may only be the size of a coin.

Finding this auspicious spot is the essence of geomancy.

Old Hu was surprised, because at this moment he also realized that the Dragon Seeking Technique that Su Mo had mastered seemed to be quite different from the one passed down in his family!

The tremors had stopped, and the situation had stabilized.

At the same moment, Su Mo also locked his final target on a steep, dangerous cliff.

Su Mo put down the compass and took a few steps forward.

Before us were four tomb chambers, one of which was the source of the endless corpse energy in the Pangu vein.

Su Mo said, "If I'm not mistaken, Feng Shigu should be hiding in here!"

The surrounding tomb chambers each contained a single corpse, without any coffins or funerary objects; the deceased held a withered lamp in their hands.

In an inconspicuous rock chamber, a triangular crevice was found behind the corpse. Peeking inside, it seemed there was more space inside.

Old Hu and Su Mo bent down and squeezed through the crevice in the rock. "Everyone, follow me!"

After passing through a narrow passage a few meters long, the group arrived at a Spirit Star Rock Chamber, with murals painted on the walls and a golden coffin in the center.

"Is this the main burial chamber?"

The fat man's eyes fell on the golden coffin. He exclaimed in amazement and couldn't help but step forward to make a move, but Old Hu slapped his hand away.

Old Hu scolded, "Don't drag us down with you if you're looking to die!"

The fat man said with dissatisfaction, "Old Hu, you've become quite violent lately."

Su Mo was looking at the mural, which was full of peach trees.

The golden coffin was surrounded by murals depicting a peach blossom forest.

It is decorated with many strangely shaped figures of people, animals, and other creatures.

An eerie aura lingered in the silent, cold air.

The youngest sister felt a little dizzy, and Shirley also felt her head spinning.

The fat man scratched his head. "Why does this place make me so sleepy?"

Su Mo frowned upon hearing this.

It seems there might still be hallucinogenic fruits here to deceive people.

Su Mo made a decisive decision: "Put on the gas mask!"

Everyone nodded and immediately put on their masks.

Behind the stone chamber are two smaller burial chambers, the middle one of which is connected to the burial entrance, while the other is blocked by a stone door.

Looking at all this, Old Hu was very puzzled and said, "Why does this feel like we've arrived at a peach farm?"

"Could this old landlord's ancestors have been peach sellers? Only this coffin is made of real materials and looks somewhat decent!"

Su Mo chuckled, "This is Feng Shigu's coffin!"

"What? This is it?"

The fat man exclaimed, "Damn, we finally found it! Let's open it and see what treasures are inside. Come to think of it, we've only been focused on escaping for our lives and haven't gotten any treasures yet!"

Su Mo walked up to the coffin and prepared to open it.

Chapter 395: The Head of the Wang Family and Feng Shigu

The earth immortal's golden coffin had no gaps around it, but there were two openwork doors on the top of the coffin.

The device, which had no locks or nails, could be opened by Su Mo with a simple reach, without breaking a sweat.

Old Hu was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected the opening of the coffin to be so simple, so much so that he wasn't prepared at all.

Immediately afterwards, a highly decomposed stench of corpses emanated from it.

The stench made the two people who were nearby vomit several times.

Even with a gas mask on, it was still really uncomfortable.

"It's probably almost completely rotten. This old zombie Feng Shigu has decomposed to this extent that it probably can't even be resurrected."

Old Hu's stomach was churning like a stormy sea, and he wished he could vomit his gall bladder.

"Do not…"

Su Mo shook his head and said, "Things aren't that simple!"

As he spoke, Su Mo lowered his head and looked directly into the coffin.

Old Hu suppressed his inner turmoil and glanced in that direction.

The three people behind him were very worried.

Shirley Yang said, "Be careful."

As she spoke, Sherry Yang didn't forget to hand Lao Hu a submachine gun.

Old Hu took the gun and felt much more at ease.

Because what he saw was just a rotting corpse, not some kind of earth immortal.
